Try talking about your Results or show that you are an expert in your field. Show some of what you do in social media.  But you need to be known beyond social media.  Practice talking about yourself to yourself.  So when the opportunity comes, you won't be nervous.  You got this!

I think this episode is all over the place.  I was trying to explain something to a listener and got caught up explaining something totally different.  I thought the rest of the information was worth sharing. Remember, you can do it all.  But what do you want to be known for? Perhaps you should carve out extra time in your schedule to work on The ONE Thing that keeps you up at night.  Because you know if done right it will change your life.  Or make time to do The ONE Thing that you hate doing but it must get done. Anyway, give the podcast a listen it's only 13 mins
